WR and Swine Week

Will Rogers faculty, staff, and students proudly support Swine Week each year by taking part in a week-long fundraiser here at school.  We also like to have fun while we are raising money for a very worthy cause, so here are the dress up day themes for WR Swine Week March 2-6.

Monday:  School Spirit Day! Show us your Will Rogers PRIDE!!!
Tuesday:  Hat Day! Wear a fun hat!
Wednesday:  Crazy Hair Day! Show us your silly and crazy hair side!
Thursday:  Twin Day!  Find a double!
Friday:  SWINE WEEK/PINK DAY!  Show your support for everything piggy by wearing pink or your Swine Week shirt from a previous year!

Our PTO’s fundraising goal to help EMHS and HALO Project, the program they are raising money for this year, is $3000. Let’s help make it happen!

History of EMHS Swine Week

Edmond Memorial’s annual community service project, Swine Week, began in 1986 when a small group of students decided to raise money for a friend in need. The students approached the principal, who supported the endeavor and even agreed to kiss a pig. $3,000 was raised, the principal kissed a pig, and Swine Week was born.

Flash forward 30+ years, and EMHS students have since raised over $6.5 million dollars for charity.
